Trump’s Attorney General Pick, Todd Blanche, Seeks Justice for Democrats’ Lawfare Campaign

It’s easy to forget, but between 2022 and 2024, Democrats engaged in some of the most reckless, republic-destabilizing actions since their partisan forebears fired on Fort Sumter in 1861. In colluding to prosecute the former (and future) president, Donald Trump, on sham legal grounds across four different jurisdictions and three separate prosecutors, Democrat-Lawfare Complex thugs acted in a manner more befitting tribal warlords of a third-world hellhole than elected officials in the greatest country on earth. They crossed a line that never should have been crossed, effectuating the old Stalinist creed, attributed to Soviet secret police chief Lavrentiy Beria: “Show me the man and I’ll show you the crime.”Many have conveniently forgotten or moved on, but we are still learning more about the Democrats’ depths of lawfare depravity.Over the past couple of weeks, we have learned more about special counsel Jack Smith, the one-man wrecking ball who brought the twin federal probes against Mr. Trump at Washington, D.C. (the 2020 election case), and Florida (the classified documents case). The Senate judiciary committee chairman, Senator Chuck Grassley, disclosed that Mr. Smith’s own henchmen may, ironically, have committed the same classified documents offenses for which Mr. Smith prosecuted Mr. Trump. Mr. Grassley also disclosed that Mr. Smith obtained text messages from 44 Republican members of Congress — despite the fact Mr. Smith has explicitly denied doing exactly that.That looks an awful lot like perjury. And perjury is actually just the tip of the iceberg. There are myriad other crimes that Mr. Smith and his primary colluders — namely, the Manhattan district attorney, Alvin Bragg, and the Fulton County, Georgia, district attorney, Fani Willis — likely committed. Federal law criminalizes conspiring to “injure, oppress, threaten, or intimidate any person … in the free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege secured to him by the Constitution or laws of the United States.” That is an awfully good match for the lawfare cabal’s coordinated assault on Mr. Trump and the rule of law.There has thus far been no accountability for Democrats’ debilitating lawfare. Attorney General Pam Bondi, to her credit, oversaw the indictment of scandal-plagued former FBI director, James Comey, but the case was dismissed on bogus procedural grounds. The same thing happened to the Bondi Justice Department’s indictment of New York’s attorney general, Letitia James, who in 2018 had sought statewide office in the Empire State on a Beria-esque platform. Ms. James said her run for office was motivated by a desire to hold “that man in the White House” accountable. Forget about securing the blessings of liberty or meting out justice. For some, it’s just “orange man bad” all day long.Enough already. These scoundrels must pay for the havoc they unleashed upon the American people and the torch they took to our rule of law. Democrats drone on endlessly about “norms,” but their lawfare cabal blew up countless norms and laughed about it — and then conveniently forgot it all ever happened.Yet that’s not how it works. Only with real accountability and justice for those who acted so wrongly can we ensure this lawfare never happens again. And in light of the new Grassley disclosures, Rabbi Hillel’s famous question comes to mind: “If not now, when?”Fortunately, Trump’s acting attorney general, Todd Blanche, who just had his confirmation hearing to take the job permanently, is the perfect man to secure real lawfare justice for the American people.Mr. Blanche has a sterling resume for the nation’s top law enforcement job. As legal eagle Jonathan Turley said on Fox News, Mr. Blanche is one of the most qualified attorney general nominees in the history of the Justice Department. He prosecuted violent crimes for eight years in the United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York. More recently, he served as Ms. Bondi’s deputy attorney general, which means he ran the department on a day-to-day basis.Even more significant is what Mr. Blanche did between those stints at the Southern District and Main Justice: He represented Mr. Trump as the president’s lead criminal defense attorney at the very height of the Biden-era lawfare. That shows Mr. Blanche is principled. That shows he has moral courage — far more, frankly, than the crusty barnacles of the conservative legal establishment.Even more important, it means Mr. Blanche lived firsthand through the Democrats’ lawfare hell on earth. If anyone wants accountability now, it’s Mr. Blanche. And he knows where the bodies are buried.Americans deserve justice for the Democratic lawfare that almost destroyed the republic. Mr. Blanche will help us get it. He should be swiftly confirmed.Creators.com
